Marine Weather Statement

northerly winds just west of the low will diminish overnight tonight.
However, increasing northwesterly winds today will reach gale force

of Gulf-Magdalen, and eastern half of the Northumberland Strait,
between the low and a ridge of high pressure west of the district.

On Wednesday the ridge will lie over the marine district. Late in the
day a low will approach from the Great Lakes, giving strong to
possibly gale force southwesterlies to western waters.

Marine interests are advised that a storm warning is in effect for
Northumberland Strait - eastern half and Gulf-Magdalen - western
half. Gale warnings are in effect for all remaining waters except
Fundy and southwestern shore.

Freezing spray warnings are in effect for all waters except East
